Santa Teresa 1796

This is a rum you can sip or mix and you will be happy with both
I would still prefer Diplomatic or El Dorado but this is a fine choice.

Pleasant aroma. Sipping some proved to be interesting. Definitely a complex series of flavors and I don't claim to be anywhere near an expert but there is a distinct sweetness and some fruitiness to it. Gives a good burn but it not harsh nor overpowering. This would be excellent as a mixer as long as the ingredients used are not overpowering. This rum needs complimentary flavors that are subtle.

I liked this rum but there is better out there for the price imo.

I was looking forward to this one as it is described as a more premium undosed alternative to Diplomatico. After sitting for a while, it develops very sweet caramel notes very similar to Diplo RE. On the palate it has the same texture as well, but it is nowhere near as sweet. Where it falls down however, is the very hot finish. For a 40% rum solera aged 4-25 years, it is very harsh on the throat, so much so that I feel it harms the initially enticing experience, leaving me disappointed. Not awful, but very disappointing for the premium price.
Update: after subsequent tastings, I am warming to this rum. Even so, probably not great value, but a nice sipping rum if you like it a little sweeter.

No too strong and does not give special flavors but Santa Teresa 1796 follows the classical school of rums!, and on the rock will work.

This one was new on the menu of my favorite bar, so I had to try it. First impression was a little too harsh alcohol smell and taste, but the more I sipped the sweeter and more pleasant it got. After 4cl I felt like an encore. Solid choice

Nice presentation.

This is an okay sipper but it leaves you wanting more. Slightly flat but different to the norm with its tatse. Add some ice and you will not be disappointed. If only you could do half a point.

A really nice, rich and solid rum. Great dark color, faint but pleasant nose. Rich almond, caramel mouth at first sip, balanced and not overly sweet.
Not my favorite, but no objections at all.

Light nose, slight spice taste but smooth going down with a slight spice after taste

Picked this up on a whim, I've heard of this rum before but never tried it. Smooth finish but I think there is better rum out there for the price.

Color: Amber
Nose: Caramel and a hint of chocolate and coffee
Taste: Smokey tobacco that changes to sweet syrup is what I keep getting
